<p>While your student would not lose their independence they would have to report any funding and help they received from you the parent.

<p>Using this as an example: if your child has had a child (making then independent for financial aid purposes, while being your dependent as far as carrying them on your health insurance) they would remain your dependent on your employee health insurance until they are 23 years old as long as they are a full time student. </p>
<p>However, if there is any reason that they fell off your insurance (for example not being in school full time or perhaps working full time) you may need to contact your HR person to find out when you can place them back on your insurance. If you have to wait for your company’s open enrollment period then the student will not be added back on until January 1, 2008. </p>
<p>You also need to seek clarification as to whether or not your child returning to school constitutes an change in circumstances. If this is the case you would have 31 days of the qualifying event to add your child back on your employee health insurance plan (after providing proof that they are currently in attendance).</p>
